By integrating the existing privacy calculus theory, we sought to understand customer behavior in the context of encountering a personal information agreement and to provide insights into the efficacy of a company\u2019s privacy policy. Our findings reveal that upon encountering a personal information agreement, customers perceive both a privacy retention period policy and privacy information sharing policy. We discovered that both policies significantly influence the perception of privacy benefits, but only the privacy information sharing policy impacts the perception of privacy risk. Furthermore, while privacy benefits were found to dictate information disclosure behavior in the context of a personal information agreement, perceptions of privacy risk did not significantly affect this behavior.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jtaer20010049","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,11]],"date-time":"2025-03-11T10:51:57Z","timestamp":1741690317000},"page":"49","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Unravelling the Effects of Privacy Policies on Information Disclosure: Insights from E-Commerce Consumer Behavior"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-9198-6997","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seung Jun","family":"Baek","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Business Administration, The Catholic University of Korea, Bucheon 14662, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3499-0466","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hong Joo","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Business Administration, The Catholic University of Korea, Bucheon 14662, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"283","article-title":"A priority analysis of policy implementation tasks for the revitalization of the big data industry: Based on the analysis of policy priority using AHP","volume":"35","author":"Jung","year":"2021","journal-title":"Korean J.
